Yeah it was really hard for me to choose something. When I wanted something a little larger than the RTB I have it was either a burm or a retic for me, when I was trying to choose the woman walked by(reptile show)with a 10 ft retic around her neck and everyone was petting it and i knew right there which one I was going to buy! And I havenít looked back since, he has been a great snake, never bit, never refused a meal or even acted aggressive towards me, which some think is a natural retic attitude.
